The Center for NanoMedicine(CNM) was established by the Korean government to ambitiously promote basic science in Korea and is the first worldclass basic science research institute in Korea that was established by after closely benchmarking Max Planck Institute in Germany

We, the director and faculties of the Center for NanoMedicine(CNM), strive to promote the highest quality of research that will nurture the current global basic science and generate new opportunities for the future. We pursue excellence in science and our goal is to advance the frontiers of knowledge and to train the tomorrow’s leading scientists.

The Center for NanoMedicine(CNM) aims to establish a foundation for future oriented convergence science and to create new science with themes of nanomaterials and biological systems. Its goal is to introduce new possibilities to the scientific community by developing nanomaterials capable of monitoring and understanding biological phenomena with ultimate precision and accuracy.

The Center for NanoMedicine(CNM) provides a cutting edge education and training in nanoscience and nanomedicine. It offers three types of education programs to the undergraduate students in order to provide true learning experiences: Nobel Series, Science Mentoring Program, and Enrichment Program.

The Center for NanoMedicine(CNM) hosts a variety of events from academia symposium to leadership seminars in order to foster scientific leaders with global minds at the highest intellectual level. It also engages in cooperative programs with worldwide research Institutions and universities to expand future opportunities.

One of the holy grails in biomedical imaging technology is to achieve accurate imaging of biological targets. The development of sophisticated instrumentation and the use of contrast agents have improved the accuracy of biomedical imaging. However, the issue of false imaging remains a problem. Here, we developed a dual-mode artifact filtering nanoparticle imaging agent (AFIA) that comprises a combination of paramagnetic and superparamagnetic nanomaterials. This AFIA has the ability to perform “AND logic gate” algorithm to eliminate false errors (artifacts) from the raw images to enhance accuracy of the MRI. We confirm the artifact filtering capability of AFIA in MRI phantoms and further demonstrate that artifact-free imaging of stem cell migration is possible in vivo.
